The “million tiny things and one huge question” and the “million huge things”? So, so true. You nailed it.

The aggressive affection thing. I know, I know. I cringe.

Can’t wait to hear about this year, for both girls.

(She’s 27 now). I would never presume to say that I am HAPPY she has Down Syndrome. I’d take it away if I could. But I am profoundly grateful that she is my sister. And I am horrified to think of the person I might be without her.

And I also wanted to say I love your blog, and hearing about Sophie.
